Library

At Four Lanes Junior School we recognise the importance of reading (especially reading for pleasure). With this in mind, we are proud to have a well-stocked and maintained library – with over 4,000 books for our children to use and enjoy. In addition to this, we are able to borrow 900 books from Hampshire School Library Service which helps to keep our library as up to date as possible.

To assist in the running of the library, we currently have 9 pupil librarians, one from each class (Year 4 upwards) as well as 2 additional Year 6 helpers. The librarians are trained to assist, not only the librarian but also their peers in the choosing and borrowing of books.

Within the library our display boards are updated to inspire the children to read. We have an ‘Author of the Month’ display. This board includes information about the author as well as some of the books they have written. This year the pupil librarians have assisted in the nominating and choosing of these authors. We also have a ‘Library News’ board, not only to give information about what happens in the library but give ideas for suggested reading with a ‘Book of the Week’ – this is one book from any section of the library, so over the weeks should cover many interests and abilities.

Over lunchtime, we currently run 2 library clubs: Tuesday for lower school and Thursday for upper school. These sessions can be attended by anyone who would like 30 minutes of book related fun.

NEWS

Library News 8th March 2018 – World Book Day 2018.

Despite our WBD celebrations starting during the snowy weather, our Flat Stanley hunt (last Thursday) was a huge success, with children scouring the school to find Stanley.

Our Mr Men and bookmark competitions are still ongoing – so if you can, get designing as the final date for entries will be 12th March 2018.

In addition to this, we have the Travelling Book Fair in the library until Monday 12th March 2018. This is a great way to support your child (in their love of books) and the school, as the commission we receive can be used to purchase books for guided reading and our library.

"THIS IS A GOOD SCHOOL.
The Headteacher and senior leaders have worked closely together to bring about improvements in teaching. Consequently, teaching is consistently good and continues to improve."

- OFSTED (March 2015)

" The behaviour of pupils is good because most are determined to work hard and consistently produce their best work. Pupils are inviting to visitors, show pride in their school and are usually kind and considerate to each other."
